MDQ STEP ONE: DECISION STATEMENT (definition of what MDQ is, is attached in a file, The case study to answer the questions is attached as well.)
In week 3, Perfect Palm Oil Company (PPO) and the production plantation manager (You) will begin the process of making a decision, using the MDQ decision making model. The purpose of Week 3’s Brainstorming Exercise is to discuss step one of the model, possible decision statements you come up with to be discredited through brainstorming, validate and support the correct decision statement for the Project, and to become familiar with PPO’s complex decision using the model. Follow the directions step by step.
1.  First Part of the Assignment:
Post your initial ideas on what the Decision Statement should be for PPO’s dilemma. Consider these in creating initial decision statements for PPO in your post:
a.  Identify the triggers or opportunity that is positioning the production plant manager into a situation of having to use the decision making model to make a decision.
b.  Clearly state the goal the production plantation manager wants the decision to achieve for PPO.  (Later on in the model, PPO will create specific objectives it wishes to accomplish in the final decision)
The course material explains that the more accurate PPO is in defining the decision statement, the happier the company will be with the final choice they make. Why is this so?  Because the alternatives, objectives and people concerned in the scenario are more likely to be considered in the decision alternative that is chosen. If the decision statement is unclear, the less likely the alternatives, objectives, and people will be considered in the decision choice, which means the greater probability that PPO will not be satisfied with the final chosen alternative.
TO ACCOMPLISH THIS TASK:
Please refer back to Week 1 on the difference between problem solving and decision making (https://wisedecisions.com/about-decision-making-why-it-is-so-hard/decision-making-vs-problem-solving/). This course and project focus on decision making using a decision making model.  PPO is not solving a problem! Do not offer solutions!
Reflect on these questions and ideas in formulating a response to your initial post. You are expected to write in research paper APA style NOT Q
